Chapter 20 Lu's mother makes trouble and attacks her.
The next moment, she concealed the malice in her eyes, her face regained its smile, and she walked straight over.
"Um... Brother Lu Yizhou, I made some wild vegetable dumplings. They're soft and delicious, so I brought a few over for you to try."
Shi Jiaojiao ignored Shi Yu and just stared at Lu Yizhou.
At the same time, he lifted the cloth covering the basket, revealing the few dried-out wild vegetable dumplings lying inside, as if presenting a treasure.
Lu Yizhou frowned.
This inexplicable familiarity and closeness that was so eager on his part disgusted him.
“I’m not familiar with you, please call me Comrade Lu.” Lu Yizhou said coldly.
"I..." Shi Jiaojiao choked and turned pale.
She hadn't expected that Lu Yizhou would humiliate her so openly in front of Shi Yu, showing her absolutely no mercy.
Suppressing her embarrassment, Shi Jiaojiao changed her expression. She looked up at Lu Yizhou with a pitiful expression, waiting for him to change his mind.
But who knew...
Lu Yizhou wasn't buying it at all, and his expression didn't even change.
"Also, I hate eating wild vegetable dumplings the most, and I like eating sticky rice cakes instead."
After saying that, Lu Yizhou didn't even glance at Shi Jiaojiao, lifted his leg, and strode away, brushing past her.
Shi Jiaojiao froze in the cold wind.
Sticky rice cakes?
Wasn't that what the fish ate this morning?
Damn it!
Shi Jiaojiao's face flushed red and then turned pale.
Just then, before catching up with Lu Yizhou, Shi Yu deliberately turned her head and glanced at her with a half-smile.
That look... was more or less tinged with sarcasm and mockery.
Now, Shi Jiaojiao bit her lip hard, her heart feeling even tighter.
Lin Zhicheng used to fall for her tricks the most, so why don't they work on Lu Yizhou now?
It must be that I didn't act charming enough.
right!
That must be it!
Just as she was pondering this, Shi Jiaojiao suddenly heard a soft murmur filled with doubt, "Huh? What's Yizhou doing?"
Shi Jiaojiao turned her head and glanced at it.
She was a middle-aged woman with short, ear-length hair.
Look at those eyebrows and eyes, they bear a resemblance to Lu Yizhou.
Shi Jiaojiao's eyes lit up.
Needless to say, this woman must be Lu Yizhou's mother.
"Auntie, hello!" Shi Jiaojiao turned around and sweetly stepped forward to strike up a conversation.
She first introduced herself and her family, and then when she mentioned Shi Yu, Shi Jiaojiao deliberately sighed.
"Hey! My cousin is pretty open about relationships. She has a fiancé, but even after arriving on the island, she still finds excuses to pester Comrade Lu."
"My family was worried, so they specifically asked me to come and check on things."
“Auntie, if my cousin’s inappropriate behavior has brought any negative impact to Comrade Lu or your family, I apologize to you on her behalf.”
Lu's mother's face darkened, and her brows furrowed into a deep knot.
She lost her husband early in life and is a traditionalist. In recent years, she has devoted all her attention to her son and has a very strict view on relationships between men and women.
Moreover...
She already had a daughter-in-law in mind.
"Whoever's problem it is is responsible for it. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to apologize." Lu's mother stared seriously in the direction where Shi Yu and Lu Yizhou left.
Shi Jiaojiao didn't say anything more.
She slightly lowered her malicious gaze, secretly feeling quite smug.
After arriving on the island, she set her sights on Lu Yizhou, so how could she not deliberately inquire about his family situation beforehand?
That mother of Lu is really difficult to deal with!
Now, sometimes even the fish can't take it.
...
Lu Yizhou stood on a stool, helping Shi Yu fix the window.
Since we don't have any new glass, we can only temporarily cover the damaged area with thick plastic sheeting. As long as it's sealed tightly, it should last for a while.
"Help me get this!" Lu Yizhou said.
"good!"
Without hesitation, Shi Yu also stepped onto the platform.
The stool wasn't very big; although it could barely fit two people, there wasn't enough room for them to stand, so the two of them were practically pressed against each other.
Shi Yu secretly glanced at Lu Yizhou.
The man's profile was smooth and handsome, seemingly naturally formed, and his expression was serious.
It looks absolutely beautiful.
But this was not the reason why Shi Yu wanted to "get close" to him, but because the energy factors on his body became more abundant after they were closer.
It can fill her emptiness and make her feel comfortable.
Shi Yu narrowed her eyes, slightly raised her pointed chin, and leaned closer without thinking...
When Lu's mother arrived, she happened to witness this scene.
Her face darkened, and unable to control her anger, she rushed over and roughly tried to pull Shi Yu down, yelling, "Get down here!"
"ah!"
Everything happened too suddenly. Shi Yu was caught off guard and lost her balance, falling off the stool.
"Watch out!" Lu Yizhou reacted quickly, his long arm blocking Shi Yu's path and pulling her into his arms.
Then, with a leap, he spun around and landed steadily on the ground with Shi Yu.
"Phew!" Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu's mother clenched her fists, and the veins on her forehead bulged.
The sight of the two embracing deeply affected her.
However, because Lu Yizhou was present, she forced herself not to lash out.
“Son, what kind of behavior is it for a man and a woman to be hugging each other like that? Let go right now!” Mother Lu gritted her teeth.
The two parted ways.
Shi Yu frowned as she sized up the somewhat mean-looking woman in front of her.
It's not hard to see that she harbors a lot of hostility towards me.
As Shi Yu was pondering this, Lu Yizhou's deep voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Mother, what were you doing just now?"
If he hadn't reacted quickly, Shi Yu would have fallen.
Lu's mother smoothed her hair. "I'm doing this for her own good. It's not nice to see a young girl so close to a man. No family would dare to marry a woman like that."
"In that case, I really need to thank you, Auntie." Shi Yu could easily tell the sarcasm in her words.
She didn't want to argue with her, only out of respect for Lu Yizhou.
Lu's mother bit her lip.
After silently cursing Shi Yu for being shameless, she said to Lu Yizhou, "Son, I came to see you specifically because I'm feeling unwell. Could you come with me to Jiang Fude's to get some medicine?"
“Okay!” Lu Yizhou nodded, then looked at Shi Yu. “Sorry.”
"It's nothing!" Shi Yu shook her head dismissively.
Lu Yizhou helped his mother walk outside.
But after walking a few steps, Lu Yizhou remembered something and deliberately turned around to give Shi Yu a word of advice.
"By the way, the glue hasn't completely dried yet. Be careful when you open and close the windows these next few days, don't use too much force."
"Okay!" Shi Yu replied. "If anything comes up, I'll have to trouble you again."
"Can!"
Lu's mother paused, turned her head, and gave Shi Yu a gloomy look.
no!
I need to find a way to stop her from trying to seduce my son.
